Topic: When did the word "retard" become more offensive than the word "cunt"?
Anonymous A started this discussion 7 years ago #83,951
"Cunt" is a great insult. It's like dropping a nuclear bomb on a woman when she's menstruating.
"Retard", on the other hand, is hardly an insult. It's literally a verb meaning "to inhibit or slow down"!

Sources currently say regarding Brexit. Soon Brits will find everything offensive about the Eu.
Many who voted to Brexit may even decide they were retarded cunts, when they made that decision.

@previous (A)Look at this image of Flat Earth (There are those that believe this is accurate)
Now imagine you are in a car driving on a road that leads you to the very edge of Flat Earth. You freely decided to take that road, yet you really had no idea where it might end.
That was-is the current Brexit plan people voted for. They had no clue where the Brexit might lead. Perhaps it will work out for the best? Roll of dice etc. Maybe it will fail? News from Brussels today was again not in UK's favor. UK has no viable leverage against the Eu.

OK - You are free to put yourself in my seat and re-write what I was trying to say. Put it in your own words as an editor of course.
I despise Trump and even he wanted UK to Brexit yet yesterday he said NOT WITHOUT A PLAN. Rare he gets anything right.

The UK should get back into the colonial thing and rebuild the Empire. Start small. Retake Zimbabwe. Brits can build Zimbabwe back up again. Think about it: roads, clean water, infrastructure, low corruption, agriculture, no more famine, no more tribal conflict, education, favorable trade deals with the UK. All the stuff Zimbabwe lost after 1980.

Yeah I remember when America went to shit after we left the UK (which was like 10x more important than the EU in those days) without a deal. There's no way Britain can survive without Belgians leading it.

i feel like cunt was never 'worse' than other gendered slurs and is almost like, a comedic insult. you don't hear it often. maybe in other places, but not the US. then again, i don't really understand why there's a hierarchy of 'swear words' where like... fuck is bad? why is fuck worse than bitch?
like i've never heard anybody call someone a cunt to their face and if i did it wouldn't have much more of an impact than if they were to say, like, "fuckin' bitch" or something. an insult's an insult, it's the intent that makes it more or less harmful.

Good point. Now only IF that works for UK.
So I looked this up and now will get some work done.
Does come down to who needs whom. Simple Math and all that.

In 2017, UK exports to the EU were £274 billion (44% of all UK exports). UK imports from the EU were £341 billion (53% of all UK imports). The share of UK exports accounted for by the EU has fallen over time from 55% in 2006 to 43% in 2016, increasing slightly to 44% in 2017.

So you mean that if a country is in the EU, they tend to trade with the EU?
And what if the UK drops all tariffs after Brexit?

Lol if you think there were no famines in the British colonies you probably should do more reading about what it was like to be a colony! (Hint it wasn't very pleasant).
